Bandits in the YellOwstOne( p

The following Chicago special to the
New York World is fair specimen of the
dumnable rot that too frequently finds its
way into the columns of prominent jour
nails in the east: During the recent trip
to Yellowstone Park of Elliott Shepard of
New York and family in special train,
a bold scheme was concocted by party
eff outlaws to steal Mr.. Shepard's youngest
child and demand large sum of money
for its ransom. The story, as told by a
gentleman in this city who received it
from the conductor of Mr.. Shepard's train,
is that the outlaws we're organized and
ready to waylay the train at lonely spot
and abduct the child. The plot by some
means leaked ont and came to the knowl-
edge of an officer of the Third United
States cavalry, who told it to Mr.. Shepard.
As consequence detachment of troops
accompanied the Shepard party until they
left the confines of danger and emerged
into civilization.

Wicked Butte.

The wickedness of Butte is all the time
cropping out. Last Saturday the chiet of
police was made aware of the fact that a
gang of small boys were operating dive
of the worst character In the outskirts of
the city. The chief and two assistants
were guided out to an old :'dug out"
where they found about thirty boys ap-
parently having magnificent time in the
operation of saloon and gambling estab-
lishmcnt. A game of faro was being con-
Quoted IN one room of the dug out and
the players were bucking the tiger with
good hard coin the same as in the uptown
saloons. The adjoining and only other
room of the place contained bar, behind
which two urchins presided and dispensed
whisky and beer with as much dignity as
becomes older hands at the business. The
Miner says they chad out cappers to de-
coy juveniles to their haunts who were
supposed to possess some money, and it
was this branch of the business that

Coal on the Montana Central.

Pioneer Press: john M. Egan, general
superintendent of the Manitoba, has just
returned from tour of inspection over
the Montana extension of the road. He
speaks in the most laudatory terms of the
agricultural and mineral resources of the
territory. If he were not known as a
matter-o Of fact man one would be inclined
to believe that he is somewhat enthusiastic
on this particular point, so favorable are
his impressions of the region in question.
At Fort Belknap he secured samples of
excellent coal which was found in three
rich veins. He said: This coal is equal
to that found in any portion of Illinois,
which is first class coal, as everybody
knows. There is any quantity of it about
Fort Belknap. The country through
which the Manitoba passes is perfectly
grand. Its agricultural capabilities are
unlimited and its mineral resources vast
in the extreme. The finest cattle in the
world are bred there. This is owing to
the fact that there is plentiful supply of
grass and water. The vegetables grown
in the vicinity of the Milk River are mag
nifcent. Intending settlers should not
pass Montana, as it is the coming region
of the west.

Is the Great Wall of China u Myth?

Able Larrieu, formerly a missionary
in China, has published pamphlet
C'Paris Leroux') on the great wall of
China, to demonstrate that this Struc-
ture does not exist and never has exist
ed. The popular belief is that this wall
stretches for about 800 leagues across
China, from the sea to the province of
Kansu, that it is wholly constructed of
cut stone, and thirty cubits high by
twelve broad. It is believed to run
straight on regardless of obstacles, 60
ing down valleys and up mountains,
without a break, except such as time
has made, along its whole course. The
notion originated with Jesuit. named
Martini, who visited China about 1850,
and his description was followed by
subsequent writer's. A. Larrieu has
lived for several years under what
would have been the shadow of the
great wall, had there been one; he has
studied the writings of recent writer's
especially Able Huc-who have crossed
the line of the alleged wall in various
places; he has likewise studied the Chi
nese history of the subject, and his con-
clusions are as follows: O The term
"Great Wall' is at the bottom of all the
misunderstanding, and it comes from
the Chinese expression "the wall of the
ten thousand H." (2) AS described by
Martini and other writers who have
copied him, this wall does not and never
did exist. (O A Chinese emperor un-
doubtedly did conceive the idea of a
great wall from the gulf of Kong on
the east.tolKansu on the west, and this,
though never realized, had beginning.
N All along the proposed line of the
wall square towers of earth, or of earth
faced with brick, were constructed
at considerable distance from each
other, but these were never joined
together by any wall as original
ly intended. In some Of the de-
files along the route there are
walls, but these were intended to close
these particular passages, or they were
merely the walls of villages, and are not
parts of larger scheme. Hence the
only part of the scheme of the Great
Wall carried out was the construction
of these scattered towers; the rest never
passed beyond the brain that conceived
it; it was never more than fancy, and
it is now myth. This huge Chinese
wall, says Able Larrieu, is huge Chi
nese lie, and as far as the million SOL
diers which were said to guard it night
and day, they are myths likewise. The
alleged great wall is favorite excur-
sion for Europeans visiting Pekin. and
and such a question as to whether it ex-
lists at all or not should be an easy one
to settle definitely.-London Times.

Rocky Fork Coal.

A Work which the w. c. r. U. Should Take
in Hand.

The Butte Miner says: Some stop must
be put, and that speedily, to the indis-
criminate sale of morphine by the drug
stores of this city. In four days two cases
of death from its use have been recorded
by the papers here. 1t is an undisguised,
openly acknowledged fact that there are
hundreds of women here who are invete-
rare users of the drug-victims to the
morphine habit, as it is called. They be-
come callous to the danger arising from
its use, and are as thoroughly its slaves as
the most inveterate drunkard is to the use
of alcohol. 1t is not claimed, by any

means, that Butte is exceptional by means
OF the presence of these morphine users,
but its sale in quantities sufficient to en-
danger human life upon anything else
than physicians prescription assuredly
is. The city council should take this mat
ter into consideration without delay and
devise an ordinance that will put an effec-
tual stop to one means of suicide by the
passage of stringent law preventing the
sale of the drug except to those who know
how to administer it to human beings in
safety.

parties to the tragedy were Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Miller Mrs. Miller, it seems,

Der of years by taking in washing, and

Billings Gazette: We are informed
that freighter named Dune. Mac Donald
had some trouble with the Crow Indians
on the reservation few days ago. His
horses strayed into the Indian gardens
during the night and one of the Indians
attempted to drive them into the corral to
lold them for damages. Macdonald at
acked him with club and rocks, leaving
,im for dead, but after he got away a
short distance the Indian got up and ran
way. The other Indians attempted to
lold Mac Donald to see whether the iniur-
ID Indian died, and if so they were going
o kill him, otherwise make him pay for
he damage done. But he escaped from
hem. It was a close call for Dune and
he Indian, too, from all accounts.

Mention was made in our last issue of

pair Forrest learned that they had gone on

her by her husband to 60 cast and obtain

she left home some time in August. Mrs.

he had decided to take his wife back to
